Minotaur pt. 4: Retopology

So here's the minotaur being retopologized in Topogun. This will serve as both my base low poly for the end result and as a cleaner mesh to reproject and do some more sculpting on in zbrush.

I realize 5.5 minutes is entirely too much time to watch this, but as I decided I'm going to start to finish this bad larry, I figured it was worth uploading for posterity.

how dense was the mesh u export for retopologizing?

nice video by the way.

@Fazigu It looks like about 3000. I am not sure though. I did it a while ago.

topology needs a bit of work / try to preserve quads through out your mesh / eliminate triangles/

nice work / keep up the good work

[officerbeardontcare]

@T3yue Quads are completely irrelevant at this point. They are helpful in working with higher density meshes as you can select rings and loops, but quads really mean nothing when it comes to sculpt mesh or the final lowpoly mesh.

But yes, the topology could have used a bit more love. Sure.

great morel and HQ retopology. i will love to see haw it looks with the diffuse color :)

[nekrodesigner]

how you get the normalmaps on the model?

[4kaWander]

this look way too much easy than zbrush topology ._.

[SinNoche]

what tool use for make the lines? what is the pen? O_O

very good background music thumbs up! And a cool vid!
